A unique wealth of animal and plant life, a treasure collection of diamonds and other minerals, and a kaleidoscope of fascinating cultures.

The wind, sun, ice and rain have worked a special magic in the landscape. There are extremes of deserts, mediterranean, mountains (snow covered sometimes), grasslands, high forests and tropical mangrove swamps. Within these climatic zones, Earth's most diverse plant population thrives, South Africa is also home to big game, a host of beautiful birds, which thrive on vast range of habitats and foods that nature has preserved for them.

Tourism between South Africa and the UAE
For Emiratis and expatriates living in the UAE, South Africa boasts an ideal climate, extraordinary scenic beauty, cultural diversity and unparalleled eco-tourism.

South Africa has a seasonal advantage because the beautiful temperate sunny summer coincides with the local winter. In the hot summer months in the UAE, South Africa’s moderate winter offers an ideal escape. In fact, South Africa is beautiful and lively throughout the whole year.

South Africa is a safe country to visit. However, visitors are advised to take the same precautions as elsewhere in the world.

You are invited to visit the South African national pavilion at the Arabian Tourism Market, which takes place in the first week of May each year.
